Christine Hamlin faithfully and tirelessly served as a member of the Prevent Blindness North Carolina Board of Directors for 23 years. During her tenure on the board, The Hamlin Companies became the major sponsor of the Prevent Blindness NC screening booth at the NC State Fair.  The screening booth became known as “The Christine Hamlin Mobile Vision Center” after her death in 2013.  Christine’s family continues to sponsor PBNC’s state fair screening booth in her memory.  “Christine’s hope was to give every North Carolinian the opportunity to see.”   The Christine Hamlin Mobile Vision Center will provide FREE ADULT VISION SCREENINGS in the Education Building at the 2018 NC State Fair from October 11 through October 21.
